In more than 20 years, the war in Congo has claimed more than 6 million lives. The population is suffering greatly under this state of total impunity. War crimes were never prosecuted. The region contains the most important stocks of raw materials needed for today's technologies. In his "Congo Tribunal", Milo Rau brings together the victims, witnesses, executioners and experts of this war for the creation of an exceptional tribunal of the Eastern Congolese people.
A shocking portrait of the biggest and bloodiest economic war in human history.
